If we are Potless now..........

[Charlies Shinpad]

It seems everyone is saying that if we get the Go Ahead for Falmer it will be all Sweetness and Light etc.

But what is bugging me is how will we survive between the Yes(Hopefully?)decision and the actual time the ground is built?

If we are potless now,how will we survive the next 3 years then?

We can get loans secured on the stadium. Very bad thing to do, but...

 

[sparkie]

Up front costs of the planning application can be paid back to the club from the stadium fund once that funding is secured. There is talk of this being 2.5 million quids...

It is a bumpy track ahead - but we will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

And it won't be the delayed 17:20 from London Bridge.

Four ways.

The "We're Not Bricking Ourselves, Honest!" Fund.
For £10 a brick, Albion fans will be able to have their name printed through a brick, like on a stick of rock. This brick will then be used to help build Falmer.
Projected revenue for the club: £300k.

The "Trip Down Memory Leon" Fund.
For £50, Albion fans can have their photo taken tripping over in the penalty area and wearing a "I'm with Leon!" t-shirt on the day of the club's last ever game at Withdean. One to put on the wall and treasure forever.
Projected revenue for the club: £500k.

The "Dye a Player" Fund.
Falmer Village Pond will be filled with blue dye. Fans will then be able to bid as to which player they'd like to see 'dunked in the pond' on matchdays.
Projected revenue for the club: £250k. (Rising to £400k if Kerry Mayo wins the vote, as blue and ginger go purple, which would be especially worth seeing).

The "Gulls Aloud" CD.
Five current Albion players will don wigs, wonderbras and short skirts to mimic Cheryl, Kimberley, Nicola, Nadine & Sarah. They'll then record a version of "I'll (North) Stand (Chat) By You". A concerted campaign by Albion fans will see this crash into the charts at number 87.
Projected revenue for the club: £200k.

There will be some nostalgia (mainly along the "Thank god we're out of that place" kind) with Withdean, so selling anything the club actually own there after the last match might be an idea....

After all, three promotions orchestrated from its portakabins.

Agreed and spot on,its goner be a nightmare yet again,and not sure wether the club can get through it,just hope the new ground and investors are pumping money in around that time grrrrrrrrr.

Sparkie is right - see Insider's answer to my question "Falmer - Planning Costs" in the Ask the Club section. So all we need is the planning permission: Square One - here we come (again!)

Yeah fans these days can afford everything but good ideas as the hardcore fans may shell out as usual

Just read that and it makes sense,but forgive me if I am being thick,but will the Club borrow enough money to get us thru the next 3 years as well as funding the new stadium?

With our board anything is possible,when it comes to making money from supporters,rather than finding otherways
